Default Save Presque Isle Downs

With the upcoming meet 3 weeks away, I have some questions for Doug and anyone else that cares to chime in regarding this poor excuse for a track.
My first concern...they are still only at 500 stalls, and a list of 1100 applications for those stalls. There were to be an additional 200 built, what is going on with that???? More stalls=larger fields=more wagering, doesn't make much sense. Also the grooms stay at Tally-HO, there are quarters being built, how far off is that project.
I can't tell you how many times fields were only 5 or 6...Doug, what was the average number of starters per race over last years meet?
Also are they ever going to do anything cosmetically to the track, they may as well just take the trash that is going to the dump and unload it in the infield. Erie/Commodore Downs may have had a better infield. The souvenir stand is a banquet table with some sweatshirts.
I know the track is a afterthought, but seriously, it is embarrassing. They spent all this time and money, couldn't they have done a little better job? I was expecting Target and got a Dollar General. In my view this track is headed down the exact path that Erie/Commodore headed down, the one Thistledown is currently heading down...can or will it be fixed?
